Gattaca

I couldn’t express what I was feeling in my soul after I watched the film of Andrew Niccol, called “Gattaca”. I liked it so much that I started thinking a lot about my life. But to be honest, what this film does the best is giving you a meal for your brains or some idea to be thought over.

The most favorite character who I, in particular, noticed and liked is that very disabled guy whose name is Jerome Morrow. His contribution to the Vincent’s life, the main character of the movie, is tremendous and Vincent had to be thankful for everything what he achieved only to him. However, Vincent did many huge efforts to help Jerome as well. He succeeded in bringing Jerome’s dream into the life, inasmuch as he glorified his name to the top, and Jerome was actually thinking about this for his entire life.

This movie was released more than twenty years ago and as I mentioned it’s really conspicuous for the people who watch this film. The camera which was making this film is old and was recording it with a poor quality which would’ve be valid for today’s movie lovers. However, if the company that released this film twenty years ago refreshed and improved some details during the filming process then this film would be actual to this very day. Also, due to its main idea and outstanding acting of such good actors as Ethan Hawke and Jude Law and such a beautiful actress as Uma Thurman, I think that the movie would be popular if it were published nowadays.

I liked and I thought so much about the purposefulness of the main hero. What was moving him to go straight forward and achieve what he sincerely wanted? Despite what sort of people he was put in by the will of fate he didn’t give up, he didn’t let someone else to get the work he wished so much and so long, and the most impressive fact that his health didn’t let him down in the very decisive moment. And that moment when a doctor didn’t call the police patrol to catch Vincent was one of the two most affecting moments in the film.

Vincent is definitely the protagonist of this movie and the main focus was made around him. However, I mentioned another actor who I think starred better in the film. It’s Jerome Morrow. His facial expressions were outstanding and this character made people to feel sorry about what happened to him a long time ago. He was hit by a car and his legs became unable to walk. He literally became chained to his wheelchair. It was sad for me to see him so hopeless every time. But again, that contribution that he has made for the Vincent’s dream cannot be assessed with any others. He became his direct donor of different analyses such as blood and urine. However, in the end of the film he dies. He burns himself into the huge oven, initially putting on himself his silver medal that he won once during the swimming tournament. Among the most affecting phrases that he has pronounced in the film was definitely when he answered Vincent about who lives upstairs. As a response, Vincent got a few words in a very depressing tone: “Of course, not me.”. This gives people to think about the real value of what they have at the moment and not start to appreciate what they will lose one day.

Overall, the film is really impressive and let you think about what you will do next in order to make your cherished wishes come true. Also, it gives people the charge of energy that they may direct to the accomplishment of this desire. I am truly happy that I found some time to watch this movie and get a chance to think over my life. I will definitely advice my family and friends to watch this movie and I think that they will also be satisfied as I am right now, after watching this astonishing film of Andrew Niccol.

In my opinion, the main idea that this film was trying to convey is on the surface. Do not be afraid of dreaming something, even if you think that you weren’t even born for this thing, just go for it and you will see how people will start envying you as you will be getting better and better and finally you will achieve something that you were thinking and dreaming about.

I hope that my blog was interesting for you in making the right decision either to watch or not to watch this movie but definitely if you want to get more morally mature you should watch it!
